I hit up the craft store this weekend and started some early fall crafting. Here’s a quick and easy idea that can make a big impact hung on a wall or sitting on a mantle.
Leafy Ironstone!
Materials:
-leaves (mine were pressed 2 falls ago)
-ironstone plates (picked up 2/ $1.00 at an auction)
-can of spray adhesive.
 |
| Fold the leaves into wax paper and stick between the pages of a heavy book. |
 |
| Spray the back of each leaf and simply adhere to the plates. |
Easy, inexpensive, beautiful!
 |
| The handle on this upturned crate is a perfect plate holder! |
If you don’t have any pressed leaves hanging around you could easily buy some preserved or silk leaves or use freshly fallen ones straight from the ground!
More details on the moss frame coming later!
Do you have any decorating ideas for fall? Link them in the comments. We’d all love to see them!

So creative and beautiful, Jessica! I have not seen anything like this before. The vignette in the last photo is stunning! Thanks for linking up to The "Autumn Décor" Talent Scouting Party at WhisperWood Cottage!
Hello Emmeline,
First, I love your name. : ) Second this is such a cute and easy idea! You did such a great job in your display of your plates. I'm a new follower and found you over at the Lettered Cottage. Hope you'll find time to stop by.

So pretty! I love the clean natural look.
I love easy DIY and this is adorable, Jessica! Sharing a link back in this week's highlights. 😉
Super cute and simple, just the way a project should be!
This is such a great idea! I love the color of the leaves against the white plates. Thank you so much for linking up to the Better Late Than Never Thanksgiving bloghop!
You pretty much summed it up: easy, inexpensive, beautiful. These are so pretty and I love that they're not holiday specific, so you could use them through fall (and perhaps even beyond.)
